Description

“Global Top 10 LNG Markets: Analysis of Capacity, Trade Movements, Supply-Demand and Competitive Scenario”, is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis specialists, that offers comprehensive information on the 10 largest liquefaction and regasification markets in the world. It provides in-depth information on all active and planned LNG terminals, LNG imports and exports, LNG trade movements and prices and contracted and non-contracted LNG capacities in these markets. Further, natural gas reserves, production and consumption details along with energy security aspects of each market are also analyzed in this report. According to the report, by 2010, the US, with a total regasification capacity of 12,228.3 billion cubic feet (Bcf) will surpass Japan as the biggest regasification market in the world. Similarly, Australia will overtake Qatar to become the largest liquefaction market globally with a capacity of 78.0 Million Tonnes by 2015. The contribution of the top five regasification markets to global regasification capacity will decrease marginally from 79.4% in 2009 to 68.0% in 2015. On the other hand, contribution of top five liquefaction markets will increase from 54.0% in 2009 to 58.6% in 2015. Despite a lion’s share in the global LNG industry, top 10 LNG markets are planning to construct 37 regasification and 16 liquefaction terminals by 2015.
